But the ire of some India fans has quickly turned to England skipper Buttler, who they believe caught Kohli with an intentional throw before he was dismissed on the very next ball.
England captain Jos Buttler is feeling the wrath of India fans who are accusing him of intentionally throwing the ball at Virat Kohli to unsettle him immediately before he was bowled out during the second one-day international.
One fan remarked: “That intentional throw at Virat Kohli by Jos Butler led to the loss of concentration of Kohli.
Buttler was returning the ball to Salt after some good fielding thwarted Kohli's attempts at a boundary, when he caught the India batsman while he was stood at the crease.
The sequence of events led some fans to speculate that Buttler's throw unsettled Kohli, disrupting his rhythm and affecting his focus before ultimately leading to his dismissal.
